Nearly a decade after one of the most harrowing moments of her life, Kim Kardashian is preparing to take the stand in a French courtroom to recount the traumatic 2016 Paris robbery that shocked the world.
According to TMZ and PEOPLE, Kardashian is expected to testify this May, delivering a first-hand account of the multi-million-dollar jewelry heist that occurred during Paris Fashion Week nearly nine years ago. The trial will focus on five suspects accused of orchestrating the violent robbery.
The Case Resurfaces
The robbery took place at Hôtel de Pourtalès, a boutique hotel, shortly before 3:00 a.m. Kim had just returned from a night out with her sisters Kourtney and Kendall Jenner, but was alone in her private residence. Her bodyguard remained behind with her sisters—a detail the robbers likely knew, as Kardashian later suggested the assailants tracked her via social media.
During the robbery, five masked men broke into her suite and stole over $10 million in jewelry, including her now-infamous engagement ring from Kanye West. Kardashian was reportedly wearing only a bathrobe, with nothing underneath, when she was bound, gagged, and dragged to the hallway at gunpoint.
One of the accused, Yunice Abbas, has already admitted involvement in a 2022 VICE interview, saying he learned about the jewels from Kardashian’s social media and claimed to feel no remorse: “Since she was throwing money away,” Abbas stated, “we were there to collect it, and that was that.”
Revisiting the Trauma
Kardashian has publicly shared the emotional toll the robbery left on her mental health, including symptoms of PTSD and significant changes in how she travels. She discussed the incident in a Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode, where she recounted the terrifying events to her sisters.
Her upcoming testimony is expected to revisit these details under oath, offering deeper insight into the trauma she endured and how it shaped her life.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about stolen jewels — it’s about how trauma endures, how justice is pursued internationally, and how one woman’s life was permanently altered in a matter of moments. The outcome could influence future international cases surrounding celebrity safety, digital surveillance, and cross-border crime.
